Kate Middleton Parenting Style: How The Duchess Of Cambridge Instills Toddler Discipline In Prince George

The Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, is very much a hands-on mother. Despite Prince George and Princess Charlotte being looked after by nannies and a host of staff, and despite the royal mom's commitments and duties, she still sees to taking an active part in raising and disciplining her children.

Kate Middleton's parenting style is more evident in eldest son, Prince George, who is in his terrible threes stage. Radar Online reports that the duchess takes cues from parenting books like "The Happiest Toddler on the Block" and "Positive Discipline: The First Three Years," in trying to instill discipline and boundaries in the toddler.

The report further says that Prince George throws tantrums and fuss over things, like any other children his age. Kate Middleton supposedly handles these outbursts in a no-nonsense manner and is quite an effective parent.

For instance, if Prince George refuses to eat his food and makes a mess instead of eating, Kate Middleton apparently lets the child clean the mess up and gives him two choices he actually cannot refuse. Prince George can either eat what's served to him or go to bed without having any dinner. The child almost always chooses to eat.

If Prince George throws a tantrum in the playground, he is warned by his mom once. If this doesn't work, Kate Middleton removes Prince George from the site and sends him back home. She also enforces a break if the child is being naughty and difficult. Prince George is asked to sit in his room to either read books, listen to calming music or play with calming toys.

This type of "isolation" technique supposedly helps both parent and child lower their stress levels, according to Kathryn Mewes via Good To Know. Mewes went to the same school as the royals' nanny, Maria Borallo.
